Hello everyone. Hopefully the weather cooperates with us a bit and allows for some baseball this week. Also if you happen across any interesting situations or something you would like to have others give an opinion on feel free to email it to me at rrodriguez@bethel.k12.or.us and I can put in on the site. That goes for vets and especially rookie room guys. Thanks and go call some strikes and outs!
Situation: Batter 1 (B1) strides forward when making contact with the pitched ball.
His front foot:
(a) is in the air when contact is made and then lands completely outside the batters box
(b)is partially on the line of the batter's box and partially on the ground outside the line of the box
or
(c) is on the ground entirely outside the line of the batter's box
Whats the ruling for a, b, and c? And does it matter if the contact with the pitch is fair or foul?

No takers huh? I'll wait for tonight and post answers.
ReplyDeletea & b is nothing, perfectly legal. c the batter is out for making contact with the ball outside of the batters box. The ball is dead and all baserunners return thier previous base.

I've got nothing on a and b as well. As Kevin said all runners return to thier original bases. C is out for making contact with the ball outside the batters box.
ReplyDeleteGood call. In a & b this is legal, but in c the batter is out for making contact with the pitched ball while being out of the batter's box. It doesn't matter if the contact was fair or foul.
